Sounds like a plan, I’ve found a 39 coupe chassis that was a restored car someone swapped for a modern chassis and I can probably get it all cheap. It’s not the idea flathead but I think for this little roadster it would be good and I can use the rear and three speed Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Sounds like a good way to to go. Use the brakes too!! I'm running a stock bore '40 engine in my 32 coupe. It moves down the road just fine.
I picked up a running engine, 3 speed, and rear end from the 39 Coupe today for the Roadster so it’s about time to start putting it together! Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Got my copy in the mail yesterday, this has some neat tips and is going to really help. Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Update: There really aren't any updates other than I found and bought the wheels I'm going to use on it, 32 18" wires out back and 33/34 17" up front. Ive got them blasted waiting on primer and paint. I'm about to get it going so stay tuned for some updates, life is so busy right now I haven't had time to mess with it.
Alright! Your the man! That is going to look awesome. Did you save the pedal cluster from the 39 chassis? They are a hot item among us `35-36 owners that want to upgrade to juice brakes.(You probably already know that).
I didn’t get it, I’m not sure what he did with it when he pulled everything Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Neat car. It’s a nice rust free looking car and I love the green over black paint. Following the build, are you still going with the pinched 32 frame and running the fenders, aprons and boards? Cliff Ramsdell
Thanks Cliff, it is a pretty solid car, especially to have been up north a good bit of its life. The pinched 32 chassis is going under my 31 coupe, the roadster is going back on it’s A frame, no fenders, and going to be left as is except juice brakes and 39 Ford running gear.
